To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that l, Minn BINYIK, a subject of the Emperor of ustriasHungary. residing at Viutondale, in the county of 'Cambria and Estate of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful 'Improvements in Automobile-Brakes, or' which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in automobile brakes.

The primary object of this invention is the provision of brake shoes swingingly carried adjacent the rear wheels of an automobile and adapted for positioning therebeneath by operating means controlled from the drivers seat.

further object is the provision of an eil'ieient brake device in the form of a ground engaging shoe adapted for supporting one ot the automobile wheels when positioned therebeneath and resulting vin an interruption in thc road-bed contact of the wheel. v

still further object is to provide a spiked brake shoe swinginoly mounted for movement from the drivers seat to receive a traction wheel thereon resulting in an enga gement oi the shoe spikes with the roadhed `forbraking purposes.

-With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the norel combination and arrangement o'l" parts hereinafter fully described, illi'strated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

ln the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several .'iewsz--Figure l is a side elevation of an automobile provided with the present invention illustrated in its inoperative elevated position, portions of the automobile being broken away. Fig. Q is a, similar view illustrating the brake shoes in their operative lowered positions. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken upon line Ill-III oi' Fig. 2 transversely of the automobile and looking in the direction of the arrows. fl is a perspective view of one of the brake shoes and its adjacent operating means detached from the automobile, and Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View of one of the brake shoes, a portion of a wheel being illustrated in dotted lines as positioned thereon,

Serial No. 834,684.

leferring more lin detail to the drawings, the invention broadly consists'in providing the rear wheels rl0 oi the automo- Patented Nov. 24. i914.

bile 11 with brake shoes l2 Vpositionable esl thereunder and provided with opposite side flanges 13 for receiving the vwheel therebetween and with projecting spikes or calls 1l carried by its lower surface 15 yand, adapted to engage the road-bed illustrated at 16.

Itis designed to provide a separate brake shoe for each of the rear wheels with each oli the said shoes suspended and operated in a similar manner and adapted forsimultaneous actuation. i

The Iinner flange or' each of the brake shoes is provided with a supporting rod 17 pivoted thereto substantially midway of its length while an.y angular extension 18- at the upper end of the rod is journaled through suitable openings in the side rail l?) of the automobile frame. The forward end of the shoe is provided with spaced cylindrical lugs 20 having the angular lower end 2l of a bar 2Q journaled therein while the upper end of said bar is rigidly secured to a turn shaft 23.

lll'vith' the two brake shoes l2 swingingly suspended upon the supporting rod 17 and bar 22 forwardly of the rear wheels l0, it will be seen that by imparting movement to the turn shaft 23 through the agency of a lever 2l rigidly mounted thereon, the shoes may be positioned as desired either elevated or lowered as shown respectively in Figs.

l and Q of the drawings or in any interi mediate positions. A hand operating lever 25 is Divoted as at 26 in an opening 27 through the bottom.
